		<description><![CDATA[He lied! He lied before going to New York.....which, by the way, made the University MILLIONS! That is why this story is news-worthy. 

Brian Kelly is a murderer, covers up for two rapists, and now plants a story to get a below average line backer in the Heisman hunt? Sounds about right to me. I love the quote from the guy that said &quot;show us your proof that he did this.&quot; And in the same paragraph, names Ray Lewis and his crime (charges were dropped). I believe he was involved, too. Just like I believe Neutered Dame, Brian Kelly, and Manti Te&#039;o were the ones who orchestrated this entire story. I wonder if his grand mother is actually dead. Brian should check that story out......]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Tim&#039;s Neighbor:  It wasn&#039;t a &#039;world-wide&#039; conspiracy - just a few individuals who just all happen to be Samoan.  No one really knows yet the details behind this hoax, but it seems doubtful to me that the extended Samoan family would be &#039;effing&#039; with their own with no apparent motive. If Te&#039;o was really being effed over by his own relatives, I would have expected some harsh words said about this by Te&#039;o&#039;s parents.

Though many of us think Te&#039;o was an idiot for being so gullible, it may turn out he was just dumb like a fox.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not sure why so many people want to let this story drop although there certainly is a fatigue factor.  The reason I don&#039;t think the story should be dropped is because a massive hoax has been perpetrated on the American public.

There seems to be collusion among MANY people here and the truth is not being told.  This Tuiasosopo character appears to be the fall guy for everyone.  Maybe he&#039;s guilty as charged, but there is a feeling that he colluded with others including possibly Teo.

Let&#039;s see real phone records.  Let&#039;s get a recording of the female cousin and see if it matches the tapes then, if it does, let&#039;s ask Teo why all these calls originated from a woman in Samoa when he has a Los Angeles area code all over his bogus spreadsheet.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@hooterdawg (I giggled like a 12 yr old while typing that)

You believe that it&#039;s more probable that an expansive group of Samoans across the globe got together well before the season started and invented this hoax with Te&#039;o involved on the off chance ND would go undefeated so he could maybe win the Heisman? Compared to a small group of people effing with a celebrity?

To me, that first option isn&#039;t really believable (then again, neither is this whole thing), let alone that a large group of people being able to keep it secret for so long.

Again, this whole thing is crazy and the Te&#039;o camp has done poorly, but I can&#039;t see the world-wide hoax angle here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me see if I&#039;ve got this right:
1. Tuiasosopo has admitted to multiple sources  (the woman interviewed  on camera last wk by ESPN, the woman Diane O&#039;Meara whose photo he ripped off and used as the face of &quot;Lennay&quot;, and the 2 California cousins who say their cousin was duped into an online romance with &quot;Lennay Kekua&quot; years ago)  that he duped Te&#039;o and that Te&#039;o had nothing to do with it;
2.Tuiasospo&#039;s lawyer admitted that he impersonated &quot;Lennay&quot;  in an attempt to have some kind of meaningful relationship with Te&#039;o. 
3 Burke, who wrote the Deadspin story, admits that for years, it&#039;s been  Tuiasosopo&#039;s &quot;thing&quot; to pull Lennay Kekua online and telephone romance scams on unsuspecting victims.
3 Te&#039;o&#039;s phone records confirm more than 1000 phone calls to and from &quot;Lennay&quot;&#039;s phone number from May thru September, with several hundred lasting over 60 minutes, all conisistent with Te&#039;o statement that he was on the phone with her almost constantly in those months when she allegedly was hospitalized and ill with cancer.
4. Te&#039;o&#039;s Mormon bishop in South Bend confirms that on visits to Te&#039;o in those months,  Te&#039;o put him on the phone with &quot;Lennay&quot; many times, and that the woman seemed quite real.

With all this proof that this sick Catfish hoax was  all Tuiasosopo&#039;s, you have the nerve to suggest that maybe Tuiasosopo is going to take the rap for Te&#039;o?  Gimme a break!  Nothing short  of Te&#039;o&#039;s head on a platter will satisfy you.  Why can&#039;t you just accept the fact that this was a socially immature 21 yr Hawaiian/Samoan/Mormon kid at a Catholic university 5,000 miles from home, who fell for a scam that shrewdly and cruelly played on his vulnerabilities to lure him into a relationship with a seemingly caring, religious Polynesian woman of Samoan extraction, and then when she calls him 3 months after her &quot;death&quot;, he was too scared and embarrassed to set the record straight.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me see if I&#8217;ve got this right:<br />
1. Tuiasosopo has admitted to multiple sources  (the woman interviewed  on camera last wk by ESPN, the woman Diane O&#8217;Meara whose photo he ripped off and used as the face of &#8220;Lennay&#8221;, and the 2 California cousins who say their cousin was duped into an online romance with &#8220;Lennay Kekua&#8221; years ago)  that he duped Te&#8217;o and that Te&#8217;o had nothing to do with it;<br />
2.Tuiasospo&#8217;s lawyer admitted that he impersonated &#8220;Lennay&#8221;  in an attempt to have some kind of meaningful relationship with Te&#8217;o.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Is it just a coincidence that all the participants in this fraud are Samoans? Does it strike anyone how odd it is that this whole scam is Samoan-on-Samoan crime?  Well, crime in the sense that it is presented as Soamoans victimizing their own in a cruel hoax. Has the Samoan community&#039;s sense of family values has gone south, or it is more likely that they worked together in concert to help one of their own - Te&#039;o - improve his Heisman chances with increased publicity?  Once Deadspin exposed their ruse, their Plan B seemed to pin the blame on Ronaiah. He accepted the blame by claiming he was voice behind &#039;Lennay&#039;. But when the public interpreted that to mean Te&#039;o is gay, the next day this Tino gal claims that she was the actual voice behind Lennay. All too convenient?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Has a crime been committed or not?  I can see this story being big if the media found they were seeking to defraud Te&#039;o of money or something - but for it to be simply about a &quot;prank&quot; that went on too long....this is really not much of a story.

If the law isn&#039;t doing much about it, why is this so important.  So some kids made a prank that got out of control - big deal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Tim&#039;s Neighbor

&quot;If anyone has any proof of Te’o being in on it, please share.&quot;
___________________________________

Unfortunately Te&#039;o is the only person with that kind of proof in the form of his phone records. So far he has not released them which should tell you something... 

At this point I do not care. Regardless, I have made up my mind about Manti based on other facts. Manti claims the fictional Kekua was the &quot;love of his life&quot; yet never bothered to visit her while dying variously from a car wreck and then cancer. Furthermore he never even attended her funeral. Let me ask you a question. If he is not lying what kind of person acts like that?]]></description>

I&#039;d love the ND/ Te&#039;o bashers to make their case that supports their claims.

		<description><![CDATA[@elway

Correct. He lied. And he&#039;s owned up to that. I think the showing compassion standpoint stems from this being and embarrassed 21 year old who got hoaxed in front of the nation. No one would want to face that. Did he make it worse? Sure. But there is still a human over there who was hurt. 

We readily forgive rapists, dog killers and murderers. Ray Lewis is beloved and what he did was much, much worse. We forgive spouse abusers, DUIs and thieves. Doug Gotlieb himself was even judging Te&#039;o. This whole thing is sad (though admittedly it has inspired some funny jokes). 

Te&#039;o lied. He&#039;s apologized and he&#039;s taken his lumps publicly. Hopefully we can move on soon or at least show some compassion if you are so inclined. But to act like he&#039;s a monster or the dumbest person in the world is too much for a story that so many say doesn&#039;t matter.]]></description>
